The Solid South.

We are told that JOHN SHERMAN, upon

"No, do not think It will. Virginia

who fought through the war live and keep
up their old rr,judlees the South Is very

We agree with Mr.. SHERMAN. The South
will not remain solid. In the course Of
events it must divide on great economic
questions. Nevertheless we can rejoice In
The knowledge that Il IL not written that
"ohio's fsyorite son is the man destined

The State Debt-The Schools.

oNtfNC A@(AN Az ONN@N~-~'
The Times puts TO us the following inter
rogstory;
GAN that we ask consideration OF is the
question, Whether State that is rich enough
10 spend q, 800, 900 upon education is too
poor 10 pay its creditors a reasonable part
OF what IL owes themi"
We can answer very decidedly, "No."
We bold that Virginia ought to pay rea.
sonable part of what she owes her creditors
at least twenty.odd millions out of the sum
Of about thirty millions ascertained by the
funding bill Of 1871 to be due.
But the State Of Virginia is body.poli-
tic. The inhabitants personally pay all the
taxes levied. One clsss Of these Inhabitants
lost 800, 600 slaves. worth say s150,OOO, 900,
by The war. Does the Times hold that it
would be right to tax those men who have
slready lost so much property IN order to
keep that other class whose property coz.
sisted Of bonds from losing anything2 Sup.
pose that both Observation-Disclosures as well
as shareholders consisted altogether OF
yirginians now would it be right to COM
pei the class that lost $3.50, 100000 OF pro-
perry to pay in addition s30,0Os,OOO to the
other CLASSY IL not, how can you ask those
unfortunates to tax themselves thirty-odd
millions OF dollars in order to pay "ioreign
bondholders" The debt was based upon
negroes and lands. Shall the lands pay it
all?
By the way, how much OF the State debt
does the Times think Virginia ought to
undertake TO pay2 Perhaps it may fiud it
self agreeing with Us on that point. OF
course we have no right to insist upon an
answer; but II cur neighbor chooses to re-
ply we shall take 1t as favor.
As to the school fund, the point we make
is that since the people pay all the taxes,
and the people need the schools for the
education OF their children, the same peo'
pie cannot save any money for the States
creditors BY cutting down the number Of
pupils to be educated in the public schools,
for the people would have to incur still
greater expense in educating their children
In private schools. II the State were to
take every year three hundred thousand
dollars Of the school fund away from the
public schools and pay it as interest to the
the taxpayers would still
have to pay that sum Of three hundred
dellars annually aud also have to
psy four hundred thousand dollars in adj
dition for the education in private schools
of the children turned out OF the public
schools. We take it for granted that our
peighhor would not think Of proposing or
even suggesting that these children might
..e left without education. And il they are
10 be educated, be must agree that they
can be educated more ohesply 10 the public
schools titan elsewhere. otherwise, we
; usli bsye enc portion Of the people paying

dren are shut out by Law turnlDg part OF

sioners could be brought to agree TO su,h

MIR. CalhNnn-

IL Is discreditable TO the press OF the
northern States that so many papers in that
section have libelled Mr.. CALHOUN recently
and exposed their Ignorance concerning
the facts OF his life and the doctrines he
taught as statesman. Mr. LAMAR, for the
benefit OF persons who have come non the
stage OF life since Mr.. CALHoUNs death
thIrty.seyen years ago, took care to state
that WEBSTER, CLAY. and CALHOUN held
the same opinions In regard ID many Fed
eraI questions. Mr. WEBSTER voted for the
fugitive-slaye bill, and defended it upon
the stump. Dir. CLAY did the same. Mr..
CALHOUN died before that bill was passed.
How many OF these northern criticasters
know even these facts
Dir. CALHOUN was a nullifer, but not a
secessionist. He held that the Federal
Government was the creation and agent OF
the several States, and consequently that
the States had right to disOwn any Of its
SCENTS acts which we're by the principal
considered ultra Tires. or for any other
ftason Objectionable. This was States

but il was honestly entertained aud can
